GETTY REALTY CORP. ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2014 RESULTS

JERICHO, NY, March 4, 2015

Highlights for the Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2014:

“For the second consecutive year, we made progress on our ongoing transformation. This was evidenced by our solid Adjusted Funds from Operations per share growth, excluding payments from the Lukoil Settlement” stated David B. Driscoll, Getty’s Chief Executive Officer. “We remained disciplined and judicious in our acquisition approach, which combined with the continued optimization of the portfolio resulted in improved performance throughout the year. We have also aggressively reduced operating costs over the past few years and together all of these efforts are driving additional cash flow. As we move into 2015, we are excited to have positioned the Company to outperform. Additionally, we have a robust pipeline of opportunities that we believe could contribute to our growth.”
